I have a kobo wifi original that now shows "no books found". I think I had a failure during an update (I wanted to remove my headphone connection when I removed the USB connection to the eReader). I think I destroyed a file in the /.kobo folder. I can add books and remove books using Calibre but when I disconnect, I have no books found. Can anyone send me the files for the /.kobo folder?

If you accidentally wipe the .kobo directory, it will be recreated when you next restart the device. Or at worst when you do factory reset. But, this sounds like the problem described in Kobo E_Reader wifi upgrade gone bad. That needs a new image written to the internal SD card.

Try the other suggestions. If they don't work, I can send a link to the image, but I need the model number as there are three versions of the WiFi.

My model number is N647. Please send me the image.

I have tried all of the resets. The eReader seem to be working except for not showing the books that I have in the eReader. With Calibre, I can see that my eReader has the 100 free books and the books that I have loaded. I can also add more books or delete books with Calibre. Still no books found with my eReader. I do have files in the /.kobo folder. I was assuming that I damaged one of the files.

Yes. I have a lot of practice with setting time and date on my eReader today because I did so many resets.

Thanks for sending me the image.

I got it installed and when I list the files in my eReader, all looks ok. I can run the desktop installer and log in to my library. The KOBO “cloud” library will download my purchased books into my eReader. When I disconnect, no books found.

When I run Calibre, I can see all the books on my device and I can add or remove books using Calibre. But when I am not connected, my eReader shows no books found.

I spent all day today trying different resets and updates.

When I try using the latest version of the KOBO desktop, that desktop app will not connect to my eReader.

I can connect to my wireless access point; however, when I try connecting to the KOBO store (shop), my eReader shows a network error.

I guess I have a dead eReader.

The problem is caused by a firmware update. The image has an earlier firmware on it. After restoring the image, you need to prevent the upgrade to the later firmware version. Connecting to the Kobo desktop will do this. If it is like the later devices, you need to let the desktop do its stuff, and then before ejecting the device, remove the KoboRoot.tgz file from the .kobo directory of the device. The may also be a directory call "update" and an md5 file. These should also be removed.

But, a warning: I don't have a WiFi, so I haven't done any of this. I would recommend reading through the thread I pointed to do check the details and for any other suggestions.

Otherwise, I would recommend a Glo HD. They are a very nice ereader.
